 the Surplus i'm a Good Way.
 From the New York Mail and Expressl
 The wonderful crop of oranges which has baen produced in California has led to the manufacture of new and non alcoholic wine from that fruit. A gen. tleman who has travelled extensively in Cal ;fornia, in conversation with reporter thus described the process, t'In San Gabriel, Los Angeles county, Cal, where the sweet naval or seedless orange grows to great perfection and in large quantities, the Mexican residents made from it a wine, not unlike the May wine of the Germans. This wine, of course, had to be consumed at once or it would spoil. But the idea was suggested by this practice that good wine could be made from sweet oranges, and the question wss kow to make the wine so that 1t could become a mar ketable and profitable commodity. As soon as the souring was overcome, mQFo money had to be invested This waa accomplished after considerable money had been lost. The sweetest oranges are selected, those of the naval seadless kind; but not until they are fully ripe. Oranges when shipped to market for eating are gener- ally packed green and ripen on the way. Not so with those used for wine. When gathered. machine removes the peel, leaving only the juicy pulp. The pulp is placed in a large vat, with layers of the An y Dgelica grape sugar. The pulp and sugar are allowed to remain together about three weeks, when, by the aid of jack screw press worked by machinery, the whole of the juice is squeezed out. This is run of into casks and purified every month for about two or three years. Itis kept from souring by the addition of distilledglycerine preservat- ives, and at the end of that time is considered

| appointed sphere. If not married at once | when escaped from school restraints, some times the mother or some elderly female rel ative undertakes to instruct the daughter in
 those domestic duties which matrimony en- tails, because, whether rich or poor, on the
 day of her marriage she will go to home of
 her own, which the cxpectant bridegroom
 must previously prepare. To that end she is
 taught to prepare delicacies for the sick and
 refreshing medicinal drinks; to make dull
 cies, jellies and dainty desserts, and ocea-
 sionally by way of practice is given for a
 season the entire management of her fathers
 household. I have heard of cases where she
 has even ordered all the provisions, paid the
 servants, provided rations for the carriage
 horses and looked over the coachmans bills for shoeipg, etc in short kept thorough
 account of all domestic expenditures; but these instances are extremely rare.
 Another class of women, a grade or two below the patrician stratum in the social structure, are numerous in Mexico and greatly to be pitied. For several years past the Mexican government has been making praiseworthy efforts to ameliorate the dense ignorance of this class by increasing the number of public schools and offering edu- cation free to all. One more step is needed, however, and that is to render it compulsory and to banish the needle and embroidery frame from the school house. Hitherto the greater portion of the school hours of these girls has been devoted to the questionable accomplishments of embroidery, lace work and the manufacture of artificial flowers the latter industry being doubly a farce in this land of flowers. In many of these schools the teachers exhibit with pride speci- mems of finest stitching and most elaborate embroidery, lace and drawn work of marvel ous intricacy and canvas work that equals the famous Gobelin tapestry Angels, scrip tural incidents, etc., are wrought with silk upon fine linen, requiring infinite pains and vast expenditure of precious eyesight, and often a years time is devoted by some poor girl, who can scarcely read and write, to an amazing creation in canvas and colored wools-perhaps her patron saint, represented with purple hair and yellow legs; or a land scape, with green dog in the foreground, resting his nose upon the peaks of crimson mountains and his tail in the branches of a blue tree, which masterpiece is framed and who points to it with pride ever afterward as the crowning proof of her daughters educa- ton.
 When these slaves of the needle emerge from school naturally their minds are dwarfed, as their eyes and spines are weak ened, and they are ignorant and superstitious to degree. They take no interest in books, seldom understand even the geographical po- sition of their own country, and to them the whole world beyond is a total blank. Being thus pitiably without resources, their future depends entirely upon marriage-and happen ing to miss that they are nonentities indeed. At the age of forty they are broken down and decrepit old women, without 6 trace of the dark beauty that we so much admire in tbai lv

A CURIOUS COMBINATION.

Nothing more curious and interesting con- corning the temperance question has lately | occurred than the hearing before the lsgisla- tive committee at Albany on the Crosby high license bill The prohibitionists and liquor dealers were both we'll represented there, and | both opposed the bill heartily.
 Miles A. Gibbons, of the wine, beer and liquor dealers association, made & strong speech, the most notable part of which was an attack on beer. Said he: I am liquor dealer, but tell you frankly that the sale of lager beer is increasing drunkenness in New York and other cities. It is cheap drink /; you can get pailful for small amount of money. Take the pail into tenement house and you will have half the residents in the building drunk before midnight. Again say to you that lager beer is the liquor that is increasing drunkenness in New York. This high license bill is in the interest of the lager beer brewers. Why, gentlemen, the large grocery stores sell more liquor than any liquor store in New York. You propose to make these firms pay only small amount $1OO-and to tax me $900 You also propose a small license fee for druggists. Why,
 
 more liquor than any retail liquor store in New York. If you do drive men out of this business of liquor selling you should com pensate them. This State is too rich one to rob men. Let me predict that if you pass this bill the city will be covered with sham drug aud grocery stores and with genuine beer saloons and that there will be vast increase in the sale of liquer.
 John N Stearns, of Brooklyn, member of the Good Templars and the National Tenn perance society, found himself in agreement with MT. Gibbons. He said: ''We regard this bill as in the interest of the beer brew CTS. The States in the West that have passed the high license laws have found that they could not permit beer licenses to be sold at less price that those for the sale of alcoholic beverages" And a representative of the are opposed to this bill because, first, it is morally wrong; secondly, because it is not an efficient one. It is true that the high license law has reduced the nnmber Of sa- looms in Chicago from 3, 800 to $500; but, has that decreased the amount of liquor drinking? That is the point. When you see increased pauperism, you may be sure that there has been an increase of liquor drink ing. Thirdly, we are opposed to the bill be- cause it indefinitely postpones the adoption of a prohibition amendment. Lastly, let me say that the prohlbitionists are desper- ately opposed to your bill and will oppose it first, last and all the time.
 It is not often than the liquor dealers have such helpers in their schemes, and they are doubtless duly grateful. It is quite probable that with such opposition the bill will fail. But it appears to be reasonable and practi- cable measure.

fit for general use. It is drawn off into casks of commercial capacity and is ready for shipment.
 "As transportation, especially to a dis tance, would cause the wine to muddle it is again refined at the end of the journey and the dregs precipitated before it is put into bottles, in which condition it is sold to the general public. The wine has already been exported to England and many parts of Europe"
 ''Is not the wine ferrnented in some wav!"
 ''Not at all. It is purely the juice of the orange, simple fruit wine, and contains no alcoholic spirits whatever. People eat oranges after meals as digestive; now they can partake of the pure juice alone for the same reasen. 1 think it will soon outrival any of the mild drinks of the present day. D
 ''Then it is simply still wine without any intoxicating qualities"
 "Yes, in it's original form. But it can be made into sparkling wine by the introduc- tion of carbonic gas. By diluting the orange juice one half, and adding the gas. bever- age equal to champagne can be reduced without any of it's intoxicating or enerva- ting effects. This has been done, and tenn perance drinkers have been delighted with it. AS summer drink it is far better according to medical men, than lime or lemon juice, as it does not leave such bad results as sometimes follow the drinking of lemon ade"

Those who depend on the weather for their feelings have had gloomy time this week. But it has been very English, so they say. It is reported from Maine that English sparrows are growing white. It should be remembered that there is prohibitory law in Maine.

 Better late than never. After nearly year and half the Congress of the United
 States has appropriated the money to in demnify the victims of the massacre of
 Chinamen at Rock Springs, Wyoming terri tory, in September, 1885. The bill sent to
 the house by the senate was replaced by
 another which appropriated $147, 74S.7 the
 exact amount determined by the agents of
 the Chinese government and distributed among the sufferers at it's discretion. Some money has been made in Birming
 ham, Alabama, during the boom there. For | instance, land company for the 1000 acres of land which they bought at $25 per acre, or
 a total of St00 900, have 5000, ,QOQ and more
 of pronissory notes and mortgages in their
 treasury, drawing per cent. interest day in and day out. Since the first of this year
 the space of one month only-they have drawn $560,000 in dividends, and in the open market to day, for each single dollar of their original investment, they can find eager buyers of their stock at 40 times it's face value. There is a promise that the | dividends of this year will not fall below ,OOO per cent, and the price of the stock, it is predicted, will rise from $4 900 per $100
 share to $10,ooO and over.
 There is no man to whom President Cieye- land owes as much as to Daniel Manning Yet near friend of Secretary Manning is re- | ported as saying that his real reason for de- string to leave the cabinet is owing to the | way the President has intarfered with tha

The model tenement house scheme of Pro- l lessor Felix Adler is soon to be given a trial 1 in New York. The association having the | matter in charge has purchased a lot and | has nearly completed ix-story brick build l ing upon it, with fire proof stairways and partitions. There are 12S tenements of two,
 three or four rooms, and so arranged that
 every room has window on the open air.
 Abundant provision has been made for closets, sinks, dumb waiter, etc., and the halls are to be heated by steam. The build
 ing is expected to accommodate 600 people. The peculiarity of the scheme is in ths sys- tenn of rents. After four per cent. on the capital invested has been taken from the revenues of the building, the surplus is to be credited to. the tenants, dividing it proportionately to their payments, and when each has paid the estimated value of his apartments he is to be given stock in the association, thus becoming the owner of his home. The expenses, of course, are first charge on the revenues, but with rents higher than poorer buildings in the vicinity command, it is estimated that considerable surplus will remain after these and the stockholders four per cent paid.
